BOISE, Idaho  San Diego State football coach Rocky Long said he has spoken to Adam Muema about the junior running back’s quickly deleted tweet from earlier this week in which he declared his intention to enter the NFL Draft.

So has Muema made up his mind?

“I don’t know. I haven’t talked to him about that,” Long said Wednesday, three days before the Aztecs face Buffalo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. “I told him that he’d better make an informed decision about coming out. We haven’t even received the (evaluation report) back from the NFL yet.”

The Aztecs sent out paperwork for Muema and wide receiver Ezell Ruffin about a week ago are waiting to hear back from the NFL Draft Advisory Board.

Muema was not made available to the media Wednesday, but Long said he would ultimately leave it up to the players and their families to decide whether they want to forgo their senior seasons to enter the draft.

“I think it’s all based on their family situation,” Long said.

As for his personal stance on the issue, Long said: “I don’t think you should ever go out earlier if you’re less than a third-round draft choice. You’re taking a heck of a chance, and you’re wasting a golden opportunity to raise your stock in the NFL and get a college degree.

“I think sometimes they don’t see the true picture. All we do is (tell them), ‘Make informed decisions. Don’t come out and say dumb stuff without knowing what the situation is.’ ”

Regarding his pending NFL decision, Ruffin said: “When I (hear from the NFL), I’ll go talk to Coach Long about it and we’ll discuss everything; I’ll sit down with my family and we’ll talk about it.

“As of right now, I’m just focused on the bowl game. It’s too early to know (about the NFL). I don’t even know what the paperwork is going to say.”
